He has yet to start a Premier League match for Chelsea, but Southgate has seen enough to give him the opportunity at senior international level.“It’s been a crazy day but getting my first (senior) international call-up is an amazing feeling,” the 18-year-old said.“Today has been a very long day for me because I had to travel to Bristol first for the U21s and then getting told that I have to come over here to St George’s Park.“It’s been a crazy experience but I’m delighted to get the call and it’s a nice feeling to be here as well.“I thought the manager was joking.

“It’s a dream come true. Now I’ve got to work hard, enjoy every moment and keep working to just hopefully make an impact when I get the opportunity.“Everybody here is very humble and they’re very nice.
